Berry and Orange Muffins
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 12 1x
Description
Super sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
250g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
50g caster sugar
pinch of salt
200ml buttermilk
1 egg
50ml butter, melted
juice of 1 orange
2 tsp orange zest
100g raspberries or chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
- Put the plain flour in a bowl and add the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and a pinch of salt. Give it all a quick whisk to get rid of any lumps.
- Pour the buttermilk into a jug and whisk in the egg, melted butter, orange juice and zest. Add the contents of the jug to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir briskly. Use as few strokes as possible – overworking the batter can make the muffins rubbery.
- Put a scant dessertspoon of the mixture in each of the muffin cases, then add some berries and top with the remaining mixture. Bake the muffins in the oven for 15-20 minutes until springy to touch.
